Thermocline Moved Back In - Jacksonville Diving Report

The thermo is back in full effect with visibility around 10ft in the party grounds off of Jacksonville. Will it ever go away?

Dive Report - 8/2/08

We dove in 90ft about 25nm off of the beach near the HL area. There is a definite thermocline in effect. Visibility on the bottom was probably 10ft at best and the temps were in the low 70's.

We did get a few nice snapper though!

Well again I haven't dove so this is 2nd hand. The only report I have seem came from the RL area (70-80ft) visibility was supposedly around 40ft and the thermocline has dissipated for the most part.

The divers did report an unusual amount of shark sightings. Supposedly bull sharks, sandbar sharks and one diver had a tiger take a fish from his stringer. This is unusual for up in these waters! Keep your eyes peeled everyone!

Jacksonville Scuba Diving Conditions - 7/14/08

I did not personally dive this weekend but the only report I have heard was from the BR (Blackmars Reef) area. Visibility was 10-12ft and the water was 66 degrees on the bottom. I guess it could be worse!

Jacksonville Dive Report 7-5-08

The thermocline is everywhere. We dove at the HH and MR reefs and didn't see any decent grouper or snapper. The water on the bottom is in the low 70's and the vis was no more than 6-10' all day. Pretty miserable conditions right now!

Thermocline off Jacksonville and St. Augustine

Water temps at the bottom in about 100' have been reported at 63 degrees! Event the water temp at the beach has dropped into the mid 70's!

Jacksonville Diving and Visibility Report June 28, 2008

Dove in around 90 feet of water near the CH area yesterday. The thermocline is definitely there with cool water on the bottom and 10ft of visibility at best. The jelly fish were extermely thick at the surface as well.

The good news is the flounder are all over the bottom in the area. The live bottom and ledges for best results.

Also had an aggressive bull shark circle me for a few minutes before I gave up and surfaced. This was the first time seeing a bull shark diving off of Jacksonville.
